In Topic: Pc + Rf20 Bladder?

30 July 2005 - 11:00 PM

You should also take into consideration that it would take almost as many pumps as an RF20 would to prime it, which defeats the tradeoff of 20 shots for more pumps to 10 shots for less pumps. I would cut the bladder to less than the length of the PC tank, to do what Yakman did.
Just suggestions.

Doesn't that make the PC unable to fire all 10 shots because of the decreased amount of air pressure? And doesn't it also eventually make the bladder explode?

I have a couple barrel materials at my disposal. I have PETG, which is a fairly loose fit and the dart slides in very easily. I also have cpvc, which is an extremely tight fit and I can just barely twist the dart in when I file the inside of the barrel. I know that the looser PETG fit is good for air guns, but should I use the looser PETG on spring guns like my nite finder? The main benefit would be that it would be a lot easier and faster to load if I was using PETG.

I use 9/16'' Brass on all my guns. I find it is a good fit for springers yet still gives me good range on my air guns. It is sort of a happy medium. Of course it will be different depending on your foam size, but as you live in the same town as me head over to Home Depot (I hate that store more than anything in this world, minus Blizzard) and buy the 1/2'' FROST KING brand. It fits perfectly.

Well after putting a hole in my wall with my new SM5K, I think that the SM5K would have to be my favorite.

Since I leave for Cali (and there-hence, Armageddon) on Friday, I decided to check into airline restrictions on those items which can or cannot be brought aboard an aircraft-- especially in regards to Nerf Guns.

According to the latest document on Permitted and Prohibited Items on the Transportation Security Administration's website, toy weapons (so long as they are not realistic replicas) are permitted both in Carry-On and Checked baggage. That makes things a tad simpler for many of us concerned about flying with our guns.

I am positive that if you check them that they are allowed to be brought on a plane. I just brought my nerf arsenal via airplane (checked, packaged with care in a nice brown box) from WI to NJ. I do advise calling the airline ahead of time just to make sure (I did) and then telling the person who is checking your bag that it contains plastic toy guns. Also, some of my guns were modded, so that is not a problem. Just make sure to tell the people what you are checking; it worked for me.

In Topic: Blastfire Ranges?

Hey, the blastfire has a maximum range of 59 feet , but it typicaly goes around 40 feet, which is pretty good for a stock gun. Also if you want to check out more reviews and stuff for guns you can check nerfcenter.com, they have good reviews.

When you mod it I think it can go 70 feet.
